The Thunder Roared

The wind blew and the rain fell  
Fast and heavy  
The thunder roared  
She didn't hear it  
The lightning cracked loudly  
In her dream, she was happy and young  
She laughed as she listened to every word  
Moving her head to every gesture
As she dreamt, the storm continued without a care  
The rain tapped to a musical sound  
All was lost to the lady inside of her dream  
The dream ended as suddenly as the rain  
Slowly, the events fell into place  
Her laughter died, her smile went cold  
As her tears fell and she began to sob
There was thunder in the distance  
The woman awoke with a start  
To the roaring thunder and the pounding of her heart.
